Just a friendly note - don't even bother entering the HGTV Dream Home Giveaway. No point. I'm winning :) If you haven't seen this architectural gem/interior design doozy, you have to check it out. They have really cool 360 degree tours of each room on the website. Beautiful!!! Bill and I are most in love with the kitchen, which is only rivaled by the unbelievable view of the mountains.

It's a FANTABULOUS ski-in/ski-out lodge-esque home in Stowe, Vermont. I am entering every day (at least on the days that I remember), and I am most definitely going to win. No idea how I'm going to find my husband a new job, or convince him that we're moving to Vermont, but I'm thinking it will be more like a vacation home, great in summer and winter, and we'll just rent it out when we're not using it. My guys have been complaining of late that they miss their winter sports -- skiing and snowboarding -- so I'm gonna fix that. Checked flights. No direct route from TPA to BTV, but there are good connections through Newark. Yep, it's all sorted. Can't wait to spend Christmas there next year. Here's a map of the ski trails. Book early if you want to join us, space will fill up quickly.
